From Amanda Waller and the Green Lantern to Supergirl, then’s how James Gunn’s Superman Legacy sets five other forthcoming DC Universe pictures and shows.
Superman Legacy, DC’s forthcoming Superman reboot, could intimately set up multiple forthcoming DC Universe pictures and shows. Directed by James Gunn, Superman Legacy premiers in 2025 as the first movie in DC Studios ’ new DC Universe. Though not important is known about Superman Legacy’s cast or plot, Gunn has verified that the film won't be an origin story. Still, it'll be the first major entry in DC’s Chapter 1 Gods and Monsters, meaning that Gunn’s Superman film will set the stage for the rest of the blazoned slate.
The DC Universe’s Chapter 1 includes live- action pictures, shows, and animated series in an ambitious slate that will feature bothA-list and lower- known DC Comics characters. analogous to how the former DCEU started with a Superman reboot, Man of Steel, “ Gods and Monsters ”’ first movie entry will be a Superman film. From Amanda Waller and ARGUS to Supergirl, then’s how Superman Legacy sets five other DC pictures and shows.
Superman Can Meet Amanda Waller & ARGUS
Viola Davis is set to duplication her part as Amanda Waller in Waller, an forthcoming live- action DC Studios HBO Max TV show set in the DC Universe’s Chapter 1 Gods and Monsters. Considering that Viola Davis played Amanda Waller in self-murder Squad, The self-murder Squad, Peacemaker, and Black Adam, how exactly Waller fits into the new DC Universe is a riddle. A simple explanation is that, after The Flash resets the DC Universe, some effects change while others do not. In that script, Waller’s story in the new DC Universe could be fully different from what has been shown by the ARGUS director in the DCEU.
In the original DCEU, Amanda Waller had some kind of connection to Superman, played by Henry Cavill – Waller called Superman regarding Black Adam, after all. With a new Superman remonstrating off the new DC Universe, Superman Legacy could see this youngish interpretation of Clark Kent meeting Amanda Waller for the first time. Having actors from the former DC movie ballot reprising their places in James Gunn's DC Universe can be confusing, which is why having Waller appear in Superman Legacy could help establish how this timeline differs from the former bone For that to work, Waller would have to premiere after Superman Legacy.
Superman Can Face The Authority
maybe the most surprising design in the DC Universe slate advertisement was The Authority, an forthcoming live- action movie grounded on the WildStorm platoon of antiheroes. Though DC Comics had its own interpretation of the Authority – the Elite – characters like Midnighter and Apollo would latterly be brought into DC Comics ’ main durability. Considering that neither the Authority nor its members have ever appeared in any DC movie or television show, The Authority may have a delicate task ahead of it. still, it's possible that Superman Legacy introduces cult to the Authority before the firstly WildStorm characters star in their own DC movie.
In fact, the Authority could be Superman Legacy’s villain. There would be no better way to relaunch Superman’s movie ballot than to avoid classic villains like General Zod or Doomsday and rather brace up Superman with a set of characters that have noway appeared on the big screen. Superman’s superhero beliefs work indeed better when they're tested, which is why Manchester Black and the Elite were perfect Superman antagonists. Given that Manchester Black was inspired by Jenny Sparks, having Superman face the Authority in Superman Legacy would bring it all full circle. Most importantly, the Authority in Superman Legacy would set the stage for their forthcoming film.
Superman’s Cosmic Enemies Can Lead To Green Lanterns
According to James Gunn and Peter Safran, the DC Universe’s Green Lantern TV show will see Hal Jordan and John Stewart probing a mysterious trouble on Earth. With Chapter 1 Gods and Monsters promising an overarching DC plot told across multiple releases, this trouble that the Green Lanterns are probing could veritably well lead into a Justice League movie or any kind of crossover. still, given that Superman Legacy is the first movie in James Gunn’s DC Universe, this mysterious trouble could appear first in the Superman reboot. Who'll Superman Legacy’s villain has not been revealed, but there's no deficit of Justice League- position pitfalls that can appear.
Superman may be the last son of Krypton, but Clark doesn't have as important knowledge of the hugeness of the macrocosm as a Green Lantern does, for illustration. Indeed if Clark doesn't fight a cosmic villain in Superman Legacy, there could still be a setup for a larger trouble coming from space. Such a trouble – be it Mother Boxes, white Martians, or indeed commodity multiverse-affiliated – could go unnoticed by Superman, therefore explaining why Earth’s Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and John Stewart would have to intermediate. With the Green Lanterns down from the big screen since 2011’s Green Lantern film, a Green Lantern gem in Superman Legacy could work.
Superman: Legacy Can Reference Gotham’s Batman History
The new DC Universe will also have an entirely new Batman, with no ties to Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, or Robert Pattinson’s performances of the Dark Knight. The Brave and the Bold will feature Batman and Robin, the ultimate of which will be Damian Wayne’s interpretation of Batman’s iconicsidekick.However, also Batman will be significantly more educated than the Man of Steel in this new ballot, If Damian Wayne is Robin in the DC Universe at the same while Superman is at the morning of his career. As similar, Superman Legacy will most likely reference the DC Universe’s Batman further than formerly.
As a comparison, Man of Steel has a couple of Bruce Wayne and Batman easter eggs, although nothing too significant. Man of Steel wasn't supposed to lead into a Batmanvs. Superman crossover film, nor was it supposed to be the morning of a DC participated macrocosm in the molds of the MCU. Superman Legacy, on the other hand, is anticipated to be the foundation for a new DC ballot, meaning that world- structure is important. Indeed if Batman doesn't appear in Superman Legacy, the forthcoming Superman reboot can establish how the Dark Knight is a known nemesis with a long history in Gotham in this macrocosm.
Superman: Legacy Most Likely Sets Up Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow
Superman Legacy can be the starting point for several DC Universe characters and stories, especially for Supergirl. With heritage skipping Superman’s origin story, DC is suitable to bring in Supergirl formerly in Chapter 1 Gods and Monsters, indeed if her story doesn't tie into Kal- El right down. Inspired by Tom King and Bilquis Evely's Supergirl Woman of hereafter run, Woman of hereafter will present a new take on Superman’s kinsman by diving into how else Kara Zor- El endured Krypton’s destruction compared to Kal- El.
Superman Legacy could see Clark realizing that he's not Krypton’s only survivor, indeed if Kara doesn't appear in thefilm.For illustration, the DCEU’s Man of Steel teased that there was another Kryptonian on Earth, as there was an open cover in the Kryptonian scout boat Clark discovered in the Arctic. commodity analogous could be done in Superman Legacy, maybe indeed as apost-credits scene. Tying Supergirl’s DCU movie origins with Superman Legacy would help establish that, in this new DC ballot, all the characters will be kindly connected. Supergirl can also serve as a ground between Superman and DC’s cosmic adventures, especially since the SupergirlWoman of hereafter ridiculous takes place substantially in space.
